It modulates the car\u2019s accelerator to maintain the speed at a constant determined by the driver. ACC is essentially a more advanced system of that feature that controls the accelerator and brakes to maintain a preset distance to the car in front with a maximum speed tacked on if there isn\u2019t a car in front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if the driver sets the speed to 120kph but there is a car in front going at only 100kph, the car with ACC will modulate the accelerator and brakes to maintain a set distance to the car in front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once that car moves out of the way, the system will accelerate to 120kph and maintain that until it comes up on a vehicle in front going slower than that figure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/car-safety-features\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying a Car? Here Are 17 Safety Features You Need<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many vehicles equipped with ACC are also packing Stop &amp; Go functionality. This means that said vehicle is capable of coming to a complete stop if the vehicle in front does so and can then continue driving forward when the vehicle in front pulls away. Most of the time, for safety\u2019s sake, the driver will be required to gently prod the accelerator to get the car moving again from a standstill but won\u2019t be required to continuously apply pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no witchcraft or wizardry at play here. ACC uses an array of sensors; usually Lidar (light detection and ranging) or stereoscopic cameras, to track the car in front. It not only tracks the speed but the distance as well to maintain the preset distance and then speed, in that order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While early ACC systems relied on radar or cameras, the laser-based Lidar has proven to be the go-to tracking method for modern ACC due to its accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the fact that ACC effectively removes one control aspect of operating a car, it\u2019s defined as a Level 1 autonomous vehicle feature. A Level 2 vehicle will be able to handle two control aspects such as ACC as well as lane keep assist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event of the car in front performing an emergency braking maneuver, the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature (if available) will kick in and bring the car to an emergency stop if required. The ACC will emit an audible and visible warning to the driver if the car in front brakes abruptly. In the name of safety, once the AEB has kicked in, the ACC will automatically disengage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/safe-driving-attire\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper and Safe Driving Attire<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29625\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1.png\" alt=\"Intelligent cruise control button on the Proton X50 TGDI Flagship\" width=\"1301\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1.png 1301w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1-1024x671.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1-768x504.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1-150x98.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1-696x456.png 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Proton-X50-Flagship-intelligent-cruise-control-1-1068x700.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1301px) 100vw, 1301px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intelligent cruise control button on the Proton X50 TGDI Flagship<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is the History of Adaptive Cruise Control?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first semblance of ACC was debuted by <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/mitsubishi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitsubishi<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on its Diamante sedan in 1995. Dubbed Preview Distance Control, the system utilized a Lidar and a camera to detect if the distance to the vehicle ahead was closing and would ease off the accelerator or downshift the transmission to reduce the car\u2019s speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its limitation, however, was the absence of control over the brakes. Therefore, if the distance to the car in front was reducing rapidly; as in emergency braking or coming to a complete halt, the system could only produce a warning for the driver to intervene and apply the brakes manually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonetheless, the motoring world\u2019s wait for a proper ACC system came to an end in 1999 as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/mercedes-benz\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Mercedes-Benz<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> introduced Distronic in the W220 S-Class. This would represent the first, true ACC as all Mercedes-Benz cars of the time incorporated stability control, meaning that provisions for autonomous braking were readily available and could be integrated with the ACC for full functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29164\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-951636082-1-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1614\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does My Car Have Adaptive Cruise Control?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though your car\u2019s brochure doesn\u2019t explicitly use the term Adaptive Cruise Control, it might still carry the feature. You see, the marketing people at carmakers get paid a lot of money to whip up some exclusive-sounding names for what is, essentially the same feature, to distinguish their products from others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, ACC is polyonymous and is recognized by many names depending on the badge adorning the grille.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/toyota\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Toyota<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> calls it Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/honda\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Honda<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses the core ACC but with Low Speed Follow while <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/volvo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volvo<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dubs it Pilot Assist, and <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/subaru\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subaru<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bundles it under the EyeSight banner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/electric-self-driving-car\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Electric Self-Driving Cars Be Feasible in Malaysia?<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Adaptive Cruise Control Safe to Use?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s pertinent that you keep this in mind; ACC is a driving assistance feature and not full automation. The partiality of the system means it only assists the driver on the road but isn\u2019t commanding the operations entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In simple terms, even with ACC functioning, you\u2019ll still have to be fully alert on the traffic ahead given that steering is still completely under the driver\u2019s purview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The carmaker isn\u2019t liable for any accident you get into if ACC fails to operate as advertised so don\u2019t even waste your time giving your lawyer a call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A solid way to begin your journey with ACC (pun intended) is to understand the limitations of the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For starters, computers may be excellent at processing data but lack the cognitive skills required to differentiate between danger and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While ACC relies purely on the distance and speed to the car in front, the human driver\u2019s cognitive abilities allow it to process other tell-tale signs that the car in front might be getting on the brakes the next second or be making an emergency maneuver even before the system does.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By keeping our attention focused on the car in front as if ACC weren\u2019t present, our brain will be subconsciously processing other factors such as noticing traffic building up ahead, cars in the next lane beginning to slow down abruptly, or even the car in front swerving erratically. All this falls under the purview of being a <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/defensive-driving-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good defensive driver<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, ACC systems aren\u2019t 100 percent capable of detecting humans as well as other objects that might be an obstacle. This is precisely the reason you, as the driver, have to be fully attentive to traffic as if ACC wasn\u2019t functioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum it up, the verdict here isn\u2019t that the human brain is still better than the ACC computers but rather that the main purpose is for both to complement each other. With the human brain keeping an eye on foreshadowing traffic movements and the computers delivering braking quicker than a human can, the odds of an accident are greatly reduced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29623\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cars on the highway\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-1536x1013.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-696x459.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-1068x704.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/76220736_lel-1-1920x1266.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Should I Keep In Mind While Using ACC?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few factors to consider while operating ACC on your car.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Always be fully alert and ready to react as if ACC weren\u2019t operating. Don\u2019t depend on the car braking as it might not detect the object in front.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If visibility is hampered by poor weather, switch off the ACC. Reduced visibility can affect the system\u2019s sensors. Use ACC during bright, dry weather.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ACC sensors don\u2019t always work around sweeping corners on highways. Therefore, in the event of an upcoming corner, be prepared to apply the brakes manually. Some carmakers claim their systems work around bends but real-world experience doesn\u2019t always tally up, so be alert.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ACC is unable to detect objects such as toll barriers or those that have a similar contrast with the background (a container that\u2019s similarly colored as the sky).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> On the occasion that your car is ascending or descending a steep gradient, the sensor\u2019s range will be compromised as it only detects directly ahead. Therefore, it might not detect the car in front and speed up.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACC is an extremely useful feature to have, especially on long, highway journeys. It can reduce fatigue and help you save some energy for the destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only caveat is that ACC isn\u2019t fully autonomous and shouldn\u2019t be treated as such. Its main purpose is to complement the driver and therefore the human behind the wheel should be as alert as if the system wasn\u2019t available.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adaptive cruise control can reduce fatigue on long highway drives but do you know how it works and how to use it safely?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":29624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[150,117],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Understanding Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) &amp; and How to Use It<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a feature that can reduce fatigue on long highway drives.
